EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the distinguished figure of John Towneley, captured in 1749 by the talented artist Jean-Baptiste Perronneau. The pastel on paper medium adds a softness and depth to the image, highlighting every intricate detail of Towneley's appearance. John Towneley, born in 1697, was the third son of Charles Towneley and Ursula Fermor, esteemed owners of the renowned Towneley Hall. This prestigious family background is evident as we gaze upon his powdered Georgian hair and impeccably styled wig. Adorned with an array of decorative medals and ribbons, including the notable Order of St Louis, this portrait truly reflects his status within British society. Perronneau masterfully captures not only Towneley's physical features but also his essence as a refined English gentleman. The ornate decoration surrounding him further emphasizes his aristocratic stature. Displayed at the eTowneley Hall Art Gallery and Museum in Burnley, Lancashire, this print invites viewers to step back in time and immerse themselves in an era defined by elegance and sophistication. It serves as a reminder of both historical significance and artistic excellence. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection without commercial intent or use mentioned here let us appreciate how it preserves not just one man's likeness but also offers us a glimpse into a world long gone - where beauty met prestige with grace.
